Welcome to my musings & notes. I am interested in broadening my mind beyond what is known, and studying who and what we really are. Current phase seems to be transcribing channellings from various sources. Feel free to browse or use the search box for topics of your interest.

It’s a great recap post covering everything from the new “Subscribe” button, the ability to see who shares our post, the vanity url change, notifications changes, Facebook’s new iPhone app, a Report on TweetDeck and HootSuite hurting your Facebook Edgerank, the new Google Chrome Facebook Extension, new Facebook Profile changes, Facebook Places changes, the removal of Facebook Deals, planned changes for Facebook Status updates, and the new way to view & upload videos on Facebook.

Phwoar. Yep, he covers a lot. Go over there to read more on the changes you are interested in.

Not Needing 25 Likes to Secure Vanity URL

In regards to the vanity url (all of a sudden not requiring 25 likes to secure your vanity url), a group that I’m in was testing this and found that the reason it didn’t seem to work for everyone and was a bit “flaky”, was that it only works for the first page that you change, not for all of your facebook pages.

It’s hard enough to get a decent vanity url for my clients without them lowering the limit and allowing unlimited urls for people. If they have restricted it to just 1 username per person without needing the 25 likes, then let me be the first one to say “good for you, Facebook”.

I would still like to let them “allow” people to change the username if they stuff up.. I’ve had clients that have put spelling errors or even sometimes passwords as their vanity url sometimes – yep, not reading before clicking and not realizing that things can’t be changed after they click that “are you sure” button – sadly, it happens, and it’s more common than you might realize – and there should be a way to remedy this rather than creating a brand new page to secure a different vanity url.

Another Roundup Post that I like is over at Hyperarts:

He goes through the same changes (not as comprehensive but with more screenshots) but what I really liked is that he noticed something that noone else seemed to, is that it sounds like Facebook is encouraging some prominent figures to merge their Public Figure Page with their Profile by sending them an offer to invite their Fan page “likers” to become “Profile subscribers”.. that is pretty cool. I think people like Mari Smith would want this for hers!

When thoughts are conveyed to your subconscious mind, impressions are made in the brain cells. As soon as your subconscious accepts any idea, it proceeds to put it into effect immediately.

It works by association of ideas and uses every bit of knowledge that you have gathered in your lifetime to bring about its purpose. It draws on the infinite power, energy, and wisdom within you. It lines up all the laws of nature to get its way.
